If all these riders are missing I can't get my head around why it's taking place on this date or why anyone is expected to pay £20 to watch it. Farce, joke sport! Quite agree, but also will there be enough eligible riders, available to cover, those who are missing. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

To keep up with the spirit of it, I’ll see if I can get a guest to watch it for me instead. Don't forget all these Bears riders will be missing legitimately. Poland and long track comes first remember! Nothing wrong with it the Charles Wright situation taught us that! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Or will the powers off speedway do something to alleviate it? What like changing the rules at the drop of a hat. Does that happen in British speedway?

Let's hope not then maybe the clowns running the sport might actually do something positive to remedy the situation for next season! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Biffa 84 Posted September 21, 2023 Don’t forget we will be missing Luke Harrison as well. He is only a guest reserve so NDLRC takes priority. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

On CLRC 15.8.1 makes it clear that it is top riders by MA . No discretion. For the NDLRC the rules couldn't be more explicit, and I quote verbatim: 15.9 NDL RIDERS CHAMPIONSHIP 015.9.1 Qualifying Criteria To be confirmed I had a bit of a go at BSSPL about this in my programme notes for Oxford v Redcar - in hindsight I think I should have been ruder. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Neila 1,162 Posted September 21, 2023 Surely if the NDLRC is a bspa protected event, very few or no other meetings should be rearranged especially one at Oxford on a 3rd off day of running meetings 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Redcar team for 25th: 1 Guest for King 2 Guest for Wright 3 Guest for Riss 4 Guest for Bailey 5 Guest for Hume 6 Jason Edwards 7 Guest for Mulford (presumably Harrison) 28th would be better, but still missing Masters, Edwards and presumably Wright 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

One can't help wondering what kind of pressure was brought about to secure that agreement, after all Redcar strike me as one of the more competently run clubs 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
